Discussion The Fifth Race Spoiler

Post image

The room that they gate into could very well be just a box in space, and I'm wondering if there's anything later to contradict this.

If the only purpose is to hold the Ancient archive then it wouldn't need to be ON a planet, right?

They say much later that they had expeditions there to figure out some stuff about that room, but nothing came of it. What's really annoying that this reminds me of is that they can calculate the position from the gate adress. Why didn't they go and check what's outside the room when they eventually got hyperdrive capable ships?

Maybe they did, but if it was just a sine room building on an empty planet then there would be no reason to bring up such a nothing burger later in the series.
